PIP: Developmental markers and dietary intake of infants born to 61 adolescent mothers (14-18 years) and 60 adult women (22-28 years) from the US were compared in interviews conducted when the infants were 6 and 12 months of age. Under one-third of mothers in both groups were employed and the majority were married to unskilled laborers. Of the eight developmental markers assessed, only two showed significant differences by maternal age group. Adolescent mothers reported a significantly earlier age at which their infant held a spoon unaided and drank from a trainer cup. Although adolescents introduced cereal significantly earlier on average (2.1 months) than older mothers (3.1 months), there were no differences for fruit, vegetables, and meat. In both groups, complementary foods were introduced earlier than recommended and without regard for developmental markers. At 12 months, infants of adolescents had vitamin D and iron intakes under recommended dietary allowances and infants of adult mothers were under the recommended standards for vitamin D, iron, and zinc. Dietary fat was significantly higher at both 6 and 12 months and vitamin C was lower for infants of adolescents compared to adult women. These findings indicate a need for both adolescent and adult mothers in low-income families to receive guidance on infant nutrition, including the appropriate time for introduction of complementary foods.
